Senzel went 2-for-3 with a double, two walks, two RBI and a run scored in Sunday's win over the Cubs.

Senzel picked up RBI on a single in the second and a double in the seventh while also drawing multiple walks in a game for just the third time this year. The 28-year-old has seven RBI over his last seven contests and is slashing .346/.406/.423 over that span. He does have only three extra-base hits since May 16 but has managed to be timely as of late in run-scoring opportunities. For the year, Senzel is now slashing .264/.337/.396 with four homers, 25 RBI, 22 runs and a 16:33 K:BB over 163 plate appearances.

Garcia is not in the starting lineup Monday versus the Cardinals, Joel Goldberg of Bally Sports Kansas City reports.

Garcia will get a day off after he went 8-for-28 with three doubles, two RBI, three runs scored and two stolen bases while starting each of the last eight games. Nicky Lopez will replace Garcia at third base and bat eighth in the series opener with St. Louis.

Newman went 2-for-2 with three walks and an RBI in Sunday's win over the Cubs.

Newman miraculously reached base in all five of his at bats and never scored a run even with the Reds totaling eight runs in Sunday's contest. It didn't help that the two guys hitting behind him combined to go 0-for-9, but Newman has now put together four straight multi-hit games and has raised his batting average 40 points over that span. The Reds' infield is too crowded at the moment for Newman to see consistent playing time, but he'll continue to be given opportunities while he's swinging a hot bat.

Devers went 0-for-5 in Sunday's 4-2 loss to Arizona.

Devers returned to the lineup after missing the first two games of the series with a calf strain. The third baseman's 0-fer included two at-bats with with runners in scoring position. Devers has just two hits over the last 26 at-bats.

Henderson is not in the starting lineup Monday against the Guardians, Nathan Ruiz of The Baltimore Sun reports.

Henderson will take a seat as the Orioles face off with left-hander Logan Allen on Monday. The 21-year-old has struggled to find his stride this season, batting just .200 over 145 at-bats, though he is seeing the ball a little better recently, batting .267 over his last 14 contests. Righty bat Ramon Urias will draw the start at third base and bat fifth in the series opener with Cleveland.

The Twins reinstated Lewis (knee) from the 60-day injured list Monday.

Minnesota is adding some reinforcements to its lineup ahead of Monday's series opener in Houston, as Lewis and outfielder Max Kepler (hamstring) are both returning from the IL. Manager Rocco Baldelli hasn't gone into specifics about his plans for Lewis, but the 24-year-old should get the chance to play on at least a semi-regular basis after he looked fully recovered from the torn ACL he suffered last season during his recent eight-game rehab assignment at Triple-A St. Paul. While seeing time at both third base and shortstop, Lewis slashed .333/.371/.727 with four home runs and two stolen bases across 35 plate appearances. The five-category upside he brings to the table makes Lewis worth at least a cursory pickup if he's available on the waiver wire, even in shallower leagues.

Wisdom went 2-for-3 with a pair of home runs, a walk and five RBI in Sunday's 8-5 loss to the Reds.

Wisdom drove in all five runs for the Cubs after hitting a home run in the second and then another in the eighth. Sunday was just his second multi-hit game this month and his first long ball since May 10. He had been held out of the lineup two of the previous three times the Cubs had faced a righty and will likely need to bring his strikeouts down before he can be considered as a regular fixture again. The 31-year-old is now slashing .225/.316/.556 with 14 homers, 28 RBI, 28 runs and a 19:65 BB:K over 172 plate appearances.

Peterson went 0-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base in Sunday's 10-1 loss to the Astros.

Peterson went hitless for the fifth time in his last six games, a span in which he's gone 1-for-19, but he was able to make an impact in his one trip on base. The steal was his fifth of the season. He's hitting just .146 (6-for-41) over his last 14 contests, but the Athletics are lacking for more effective options. Peterson has a .194/.291/.285 slash line with three home runs, 12 RBI and 13 runs scored through 165 plate appearances as Oakland's primary third baseman this year.

McMahon went 3-for-5 with a home run, a double, five RBI, three runs scored and a walk in Sunday's 11-10 win over the Mets.

McMahon has homered in three straight games to close out the Rockies' current homestand, and he's knocked in 10 runs over his last six contests. The power surge has added 72 points to his slugging percentage since Wednesday. He's at a .238/.321/.443 slash line with seven homers, 28 RBI, 27 runs scored and four stolen bases over 52 games this season, and the vast majority of his damage has been done at Coors Field -- he has a .934 OPS at home but a .582 mark on the road.

Lewis (knee) will be reinstated from the 60-day injured list Monday, Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic reports.

Lewis tore his ACL in June of 2022 and was forced to begin the season on the 60-day IL, but he began a rehab assignment in early May and will return from the IL when first eligible. Over 10 rehab games between Double-A Wichita and Triple-A St. Paul, he slashed .333/.395/.692 with four homers, two doubles, 11 RBI, 10 runs and four steals.
